CompuTec ProcessForce — Process and Discrete Manufacturing Process and Discrete Manufacturing

Track costs across materials, resources, labor, subcontracting, fixed and variable overheads.

Various valuation methods, Actual, Moving Average, and Standard costing including batch size costing are supported.

Costs calculated automatically through multi-level BOMs and transitioned smoothly across fiscal periods.

Costs distributed accurately across co-product and by-products within a single batch.

Cost Simulations that let you model different cost scenarios side by side, without touching the costs used in live production. Relevant when deciding on new suppliers, formulations, price increases, investments in new machinery, etc.

Calculates material and resource requirements factoring in internal and vendor-specific external lead times, expiry dates, batch status, and BOM revisions.

Trace supply and demand relationships across multiple BOM levels to assess the impact of a change before adjusting materials.

Manage and adjust production schedules visually with an interactive board and intuitive drag-and-drop controls.

Schedule production around actual capacity limits including production bottlenecks using forward, backward, and alternative resource heuristics.

Track and trace inventory using batch and serial number control, with support for serialized batches for highly regulated industries.

Enforce inventory consumption rules based on First In First Out, First Expiry First Out, First Manufactured First Out, and shelf-life requirements to maintain quality and reduce waste.

Track any material or batch from raw material intake through to the customer, or in reverse, with full audit-ready reporting available on demand.

Visualize the complete lifecycle of any batch through an interactive graph. Trace batches from any starting point including Manufacturing Orders, Deliveries, or other documents.

Batch-level insights including Quality Control test results, delivery history, returns and more.

Link an internal or external complaint to the batch it concerns, initiate Quality Control tests on that batch to establish what went wrong, and trace the materials, production records, and Deliveries behind it.

Create, release, and dispatch Manufacturing Orders to the shop floor, with materials, instructions, and routing steps ready at the point of execution.

Capture all actual costs against a Manufacturing Order, including materials, labor, and overheads, providing a precise basis for variance analysis and profitability reporting.

Manage multi-level Manufacturing Order pegging effectively, keeping related orders visible and coordinated when a single Sales Order generates a large number of dependent Manufacturing Orders.

Recipes and routings that adjust dynamically based on the specific parameters of each Manufacturing Order.

Allocate labor and skill sets to Manufacturing Orders and capture accurate time bookings from the shop floor. Available when used with CompuTec PDC (Production Data Capture).

Monitor Work-in-Progress status and track real-time consumption and order progress across the shop floor. Available when used with CompuTec PDC.

Manage weighing and dispensing operations at the point of production. Available when used with CompuTec PDC.

Define and manage quality tests with flexible result recording, including multiple results per test, individual test execution, or pooled sampling with configurable acceptance thresholds.

Embed quality control checkpoints at inbound receiving, during and post production, and at other critical stages without stepping outside the SAP Business One environment.

Inspectors execute quality checks and record results as they work directly on the shop floor using the CompuTec ProcessForce Quality Control mobile application.

Generate compliance and quality documents automatically, including Non-Conformance and Material Reports (NCMR) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

Log internal and external complaints, initiate Quality Control tests from them, and link findings back to the relevant batch or manufacturing record.

Maintain a structured record of all production assets, including technical specifications, measurement points and usage history for each maintainable item.

Create, assign, and track Maintenance Orders for both planned and corrective work, with support for child Maintenance Orders and task-level checkpoints.

Define maintenance schedules based on elapsed time, meter readings (such as machine hours or cycles), or a combination of both. Automatic Maintenance Order generation when thresholds are reached.

Standardize recurring maintenance tasks using templates that define the required operations, resources, and checkpoints, keeping procedures consistent across assets.

Generate maintenance reports to track asset history, completed work, and upcoming scheduled tasks. Supports audit readiness and longer-term asset planning.

Maintenance engineers view assigned orders, complete task checklists, record meter readings, update statuses, and add attachments directly from the asset location using a mobile application.

User queries, SAP Crystal Reports, and interactive Excel reports for flexible data presentation.

Monitor key performance indicators and operational health with customizable dashboard widgets.

Connect manufacturing data to SAP Analytics Cloud and CompuTec AppEngine analytical pages.

Determine areas for improvement, enabling management to take immediate action to address operational inefficiencies.

Use historical and current performance data to inform capacity planning and investment decisions.
